Das Lied von der ErdeNederlands Blazers Ensemble (NBE)

Voorpremière NBE-Muziek

Leonard Bernstein called Das Lied von der Erde Mahler's greatest symphony. Mahler wrote this symphonic song cyclus after a year (1907) which was flooded with a lot of misery: the loss of his daughter, his resignation as opera conductor in Vienna and weak health. An empathetic friend gifted him a poetry book, that leaned on age old Chinese poetry. It woke up the conductor in him. Das Lied von der Erde sings about life and death, based on a homage to nature. The Nederlands Blazers Ensemble doesn't change Mahler's musical notes, but does make them sound differently.

Mezzo soprano: Christianne Stotijn
